Is the Access Door
Closed? 5
Library operations are taken offline when the access door is opened. If
library operations have stopped, check whether the access door is shut
and the Robotics Enabled indicator is solid green.
Is a Cartridge Old? 5
Cartridges can become old and less dependable. If you experience
problems reading, writing, or otherwise using a cartridge, try the
following courses of action:
•Use the Monitor→ Media command to determine the number of
mounts for the cartridge, and then compare that number to other
cartridges in the system. If the cartridge has been used excessively,
replace it with a new cartridge.
• Ask an administrator to put the cartridge in a different drive, and
then use the Tools→ Drives command to check the error count. If the
error count continues to increase, replace the old cartridge with a
new cartridge.
• If you have received a message about read/write failures, first copy
the data from the failing cartridge, and then replace it with a new
cartridge.
